Nestled in Bailey Island, this attractive house for $261 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Located near the south end of Bailey Island, this comfortable custom-built year-round home sits along the coast with a western view of Casco Bay and the mouth of Mackerel Cove. You can enjoy spectacular sunsets from the house or down on the pier, where you may also see Mt. Washington on the horizon. The home has two bedrooms. Upstairs, the master loft bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with shower. The master loft bedroom also features a western facing private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening breeze with a glass of wine. The second bedroom, located on the main floor, has a queen size bed. A bathroom is located on the first floor featuring a deep tub and shower. Providing a private room for additional 1 or 2 guests, there is a den with a double-sized sofa bed. The den also features a desk for remote work access (via wifi) with a beautiful view. The home is open and airy, but does have air conditioning, if needed. The kitchen has all the utensils needed for cooking that lobster dinner and enjoying the quiet of Bailey Island. The living room features a propane fireplace to remove the chill on early mornings or rainy afternoons. From the living room enjoy stepping out onto the deck for relaxing, reading, or watching lobsterman haul their traps.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house on the ocean. Everything was so perfect for our small work retreat. The only issue we had at all was the downstairs bed was very hard. A memory foam mattress added would fix it and make his house absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Rudman's Retreat provided the quintessential Maine vacation. This is what made it perfect: a bright comfortable house, with a fully stocked kitchen, a dock to watch the sunset over the cove, a 5 minute walk to the the beach, and a super friendly and attentive host. Of the many properties we have rented Rudman's Retreat is at the top of the list.

The serene and lovely views matched with just enough snow on Christmas Day to make everything a bit magical. The well supplied kitchen made our dinner a breeze.

Love Rudman’s Retreat
Second time we’ve rented Rudman’s Retreat… love the setting overlooking outer Mackeral Cove. House is well equipped, comfortable, and in a quiet area. Enjoy watching the lobsterman come out in am to pull traps.

We spent a week in late May at the house. The house was clean and well stocked - nothing lacking. The location is perfect, at the tip of Bailey island - very quiet. Would return there again for relaxation or work from home-from-home.

The house is very nice and accurately represented by the photos. Very clean and well equipped and the view and sunsets were beautiful. However, the house next door is building an addition and the construction noise was pretty constant from 7:30 AM until about 5:00 PM.

Beautiful home, beautiful location
The process was smooth and simple, the property gorgeous. Our only complaint was that we were awakened by jack hammers next door each morning at 7:30. Not ideal, especially in coming from a western time zone.

Nestled into a hill on the rocky coast of Maine made for a quiet and relaxing vacation. Wonderful views of the sea to watch the tides, gulls, and lobster boats go by. House was well-equipped with everything that we needed.

Perfect Week on Bailey’s Island.
We spent a week - family of 3. The home is basically perfect. The photos do not do it justice. It is more beautiful in person! I would highly recommend. The loft bedroom may not offer a lot of privacy, but it was fine for my daughter. She loved having her own floor with a large bathroom and her own deck. The extra office space was great for work/zoom meetings. Excellent wifi. LOVED the gas fireplace, which we called - the raddish. Turkeys visit at dinner. Sunsets are beautiful. Ocean views in every location. Easy to get to all the trails, parks and Cook’s Lobster House. 5 stars. We will return.

Wonderful Cottage
Beautiful house, well equipped, really cozy. The water in front with the balcony was wonderful and it was a lovely weekend because of this cottage. Would highly recommend.

Very relaxing and comfortable winter getaway. Lovely water view nestled in tall trees. Perfect to sit on the dock and enjoy the sunset, watch lobster boats, even glimpse Mt Washington in the distance. Fun to explore the island and surrounding area. Quick response from property manager David. Would stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful
This is such a special find! A beautiful, well-situated and very clean property. Right on the water with a little dock to watch the sunset. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to make our meals in (although we loved grabbing a meal at Cook’s Lobster House on the island!). Communication with David was fast and easy, and he was very helpful. On our first night there was a powerful storm, and very gratefully the house had a generator when the rest of the town lost power! We also had some wild turkeys in the front yard. The house has a great history and David told us all about it. We had such a fabulous time and would love to come back in the summer!

Beautiful Home
Wonderful setting and beautiful home. The property could have used a few more items in the kitchen (Medium size pot, larger baking pan, 9X13 glass dish). We were asked to wash all our dishes before leaving but the dishes we walked into had to be washed before using. This was a restful vacation and a lovely place to enjoy Maine.
